Gutierrez, who says he'd been out to family and friends for six years already, decided to come out publicly because he's getting married next weekend and felt it was the right thing to do! Good for him!!

In his blog this week, Gutierrez wrote of his long time trying to deny who he was, only to end up hating himself for it:

As we previously reported, Britney Spears' baby daddy has requested an increase in his $20K a month child support stipend. While it's said that Godney isn't THRILLED at the request, she's letting her poppa negotiate a deal with KFed.

And it appears that negotiations are well under way, though Mr. Spears is NOT impressed with his former son-in-law!
